This study casts light on the potential of microplastic generation during plastic recycling–an
unintended consequence of the process. To date, microplastics have been detected in the …

Today, plastic materials are mostly made from fossil resources, and they are characterized
by their long lifetime and pronounced persistence in the open environment. These attributes …

As an emerging organic pollutant, microplastics (MPs) pose a serious threat to the water
environment and human health. Effective water treatment processes are urgently needed to …

Numerous studies have reported the presence of microplastics (MPs) in waste collection
and disposal systems. However, current scientific studies on measuring MP occurrence in a …

While global attention has been primarily focused on the occurrence and persistence of
microplastics (MP) in urban lakes, relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of …

Petrochemical producers both rely upon and generate some of the most problematic
substances in the current age of socioecological crisis: fossil fuels and plastics. With …

Aquatic environments are one of the final destinations for microplastics. In this review, a
